Pure Sensation works towards fourth try in Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint

Patricia Generazio's 11-time stakes winner Pure Sensation posted his final work for the Grade 1, $1 million Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint breezing a half-mile in 48 seconds flat for Clement.

The 8-year-old Florida-bred son of Zensational has raced in the Turf Sprint three times with his best finish taking place in 2016, where he was third, one length back of Obviously.

"He worked very well. I'm very happy," Clement said. "It was a nice work, very willing, very sound. He won't work between now and the race, by design. I don't like to work him too close to the race."

Last out, Pure Sensation, a seasoned veteran of 35 career starts, won the Grade 3 Turf Monster at Parx Racing for the fourth time in the past five years. His lengthy resume also includes three victories in the Grade 3 Parx Dash, which he won this year and from 2016-17.

A winner of 14 career starts, Pure Sensation has accumulated nearly $2 million in lifetime earnings. 

Clement also plans on sending Decorated Invader to Santa Anita for this year's Breeders' Cup. Owned by West Point Thoroughbreds, William Freeman and William Sandbrook, the chestnut son of Declaration of War won the Grade 1 Summer at Woodbine last out and will have two more works before running in the Grade 1, $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf on November 1.

"Decorated Invader will work with Irad on the turf this weekend. He will probably have two ore works and we'll go from there," Clement said.
